“Absolutely wonderful! Victoria communicated well, provided lots of photos and my cat adores her! I was nervous as this was my first time using Rover, but Victoria put me at ease and made sure my fur baby was well cared for. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Ben is great! Very efficient, we love that he came over to do a meet and greet before our trip. He took notes and asked all kinds of questions that were important and relevant that we didn’t even think to include for while we were away. He’s quick and has great communication. Definitely plan on using Ben again!”
About: I am very patient with animals, whether it be a puppy potty training, one with special needs or seniors. You can trust that they are very well loved in your absence. I only work part time so I have a lot of availability. I can just drop in or I can take them for walks and give them quality time. If cared for in my home, you can trust that your pet is well taken care of. I have a 6 ft privacy fence, BIG back yard and a doggy pool if they like to play in water. I also have orthopedic beds in 2 seperate built in dog creates.
“Caitlin has provided drop in visits for our dog and cat for multiple trips. She is easy to work with and great with our pets. It's nice to know your pets are in good hands while we are away!”
About: My husband and I love dogs. My two daughters also love dogs. We live in the country and have a big yard with two small dogs. I am a home maker who homeschools my children and am at home most of the time. Caring for the dogs will be part of my daughters homeschooling as they may get into the pet / vet profession one day. My husband works in ministry with a flexible schedule, which will allow him to help sometimes too. We also need the extra income to help save money for our daughter's education. This will be a good experience for the whole family and will keep our girls busy with something productive to do and get them to go out doors as opposed to watching television.
About: I have a lot of patience for animals and love for them. Dogs are my whole heart. I'm fairly active so, I can stay active with the care your dogs need. I do have one dog with degenerative disc disease. She requires special care and patience. I understand how much extra effort is needed for some animals. I work a full time job with a rotating schedule, 12 hour days. I have at least 2-3 days off during the week. I'm pretty flexible with in my schedule. I will follow whatever needs you and your pet need. If they need extra loving or even just to be let out. I'll be there for them and treat them with the same care ans respect I treat my own animals.
“Ava did an amazing job checking in on our cats while we were on vacation! We loved the photo updates everyday and she communicated great with us! Even our very timid senior cat came out and interacted with her! Will definitely use Ava in the future!”

“Kaitlyn helped me to take care of my kitty during the holiday season. One of the hardest seasons to find a sitter. Yet, she accepted my request. Not only that. She even helped me out to check on my kitty during the winter storm while I was stuck in Dallas. Overall great availability. She takes pet sitting seriously. Ensuring that your pet will eat its meals, as well as ensuring to play with your pet.”
“My two cats are my babies and I hate leaving them even to go to work, but as it is said, you have to do what you have to do. Miranda was my sitter for Wero and Chico. Wero loves everyone but Chico is very shy and it takes time for him to warm up to anyone. They both loved Miranda and if they love her, I love her. I got daily texts from Miranda along with pictures. Miranda has a true love for animals, she works in a Veterinary Care Center along with working for the zoo; she obviously loves animals. Thumbs way up for Miranda, she is great and your babies will love her. I will use her again.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and become an expert in canine care! Over the past 10 years I have done lots of pet sitting, walking, feeding, and bathing.

About: It all started with the next-door neighbor's cat, Honey. She was my first pet I took care of when they went out of town. I have always loved animals. Since then, I have had (so many!) of my own pets, and I got into the Veterinary Business as a young adult. I spent close to 30 years in VetMed, and now co-own a dog training business. I can not only love and cuddle your pets while away, but I am very comfortable administering medications (including injections), trimming toenails and cleaning ears! I can't wait to meet and fall in love with your babies! I am flexible, but do have to work around a Full-Time job. I also co-own a business, but I can make my own schedule around other things. (One of the perks of business ownership.) I am trustworthy, and can provide references upon request. I will treat your home and your babies as if they were my own. I will also water plants and bring in mail!
